Inclusion criteria
✓. Age: ≥ 18years old female patients.
✓. Patients who received radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and who needed supplementary radiotherapy due to the prognostic risk factors for treating pathologically diagnosed gynecological malignancies (including cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and vulvar cancer), with no pathological type restrictions.
✓. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology GroupPerformance Status (ECOG PS) score: 0-1.
✓. Expected survival ≥12 months.
✓. The main organs functioned normally, which meant that they met the following criteria: Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥90g/L; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)≥1.5×109/L; Platelet count (PLT) ≥50×109/L; Total bilirubin (TBIL)\<1.5×upper limit of normal (ULN); Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)\<2.5×ULN,for patients with liver metastasis\<5×ULN; Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine ratio (CR) ≤1×ULN or Endogenous creatinine clearance≥50ml/min(by Cockcroft-Gault equation).
✓. The subjects willingly participated inthe study, signed an informed consent form, were medication-compliant, and cooperated with the follow-ups.
